8 Essential Considerations for Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration

“PQC Migration Is Not a Mere Technical Upgrade; It Is a Fundamental Shift to a Whole New Generation of Cryptography.”

Migration to PQC is a much more complex undertaking when compared to other cryptographic migrations from the past. The new PQC algorithms have significantly different properties from the current algorithms in terms of key sizes, signature sizes, key exchange, computational requirements, entropy, and others. Naturally, the challenges in migration are multifaceted, involving changes to infrastructure, algorithms, applications, and compliance frameworks.

Personally, I find it strange there isn’t more conversation about where cryptography is headed from the “crypto” community.

This isn’t trivial or easily solved, even within centralized systems. Existing coins to outline their plans and start, or be left behind.

Vitalik gave us his “emergency” plan. Where is the real plan?
